Coke Hutchinson - repair or replace?

[DugZ]

Advantages / disadvantages? not worth it? Please help! I have a coca cola bottling works Los Angeles that was intact when dug (mid 80s). I've read these can be susceptible to damage and time and storage have not been good to her. My research found only one other that sold for just over $100 in I believe around 2007. How much are they worth now? Does anyone have one for sale, or could it be worth the repair?

OK then, what was it? I'm going by memory as i don't have any photos before it broke. but i do recall a blob top of some sort finish or am i thinking of another bottle that broke completely and is long gone? I'm sorry for calling it a hutch but that's what i thought it looked like. (Hence the Please Help!) part of my post.

thank you Jim and Matt for the correction. Ok I now have a broken "crown top" CCBW Los Angeles bottle. It was my favorite of the few complete bottles from that hole (down the street from Union Station and across the street from DWP, Downtown LA). Are these post 20th century? What should I expect to pay for a replacment? I know im asking a lot of questions but, that is why im here. (If i had someting to contribute, believe me i would).

The auction back in 2007 listd the date as 1905-1915, I have no clue what you might have to pay for one these days, there are many factors including getting lucky []
